Love is a Battlefield
While the artist might not have had many hits, this one certainly proves to be the most endearing of her discography. It’s a staple of any good 80s soundtrack and still has a punchy enough tune to get the toes tapping now.
For an eighties track, it’s all there. …
Shure Wireless PG24 wireless microphone

(Whats the Story) Morning Glory 1995 Album by Oasis
This album is fantastic. This record sold really well and it is considered one of the most important music albums of the 1990s. I like this album. I think that it contains very catchy songs, songs with quite strong melodies.
However, I do not appreciate the arrangements of this album …
Impossible by Shontelle
Shontelle is an R&B singer-songwriter from Barbados. This aspiring lawyer-singer is also the one who sang T-shirt, which became my theme song whenever I am taking a bath. Impossible is another hit single coming from her that is far much better than T-shirt because of the story. The story …
311 - Don’t Tread on Me

Metallica And Lou Reed - Pumping Blood (Song)
Pumping Blood is a song by Metallica and Lou Reed which is the third track on their collaboration album, Lulu. Opening up with a melodic string section, the introduction is nice enough but it unfortunately feels disjointed from the rest of the track once Metallica comes in with the …
Top 5 Michael Jackson Songs
After the untimely death of pop superstar Michael Jackson, it seems a fitting tribute to write a review of my all time top five hits by the King of Pop. Five songs are going to be hard to choose as there are so many amazing songs but I’ll give it …
Bob Dylan - The Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo)
The Mighty Quinn (Quinn The Eskimo) is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album Self Portrait. The first thing to take note of on this track is that it is a live track so the production isn’t quite as good as the rest of the album …

Overview —“ Just to make things clear right now, I’m reviewing the song and music video A Tout Le Monde from Youthanasia, not from United Abominations. So this is also the version to feature Mustaine singing by himself and not accompanied with Cristina Scabbia. I’ll admit that I’m more …
Gogol Bordello - Let’s Get Radical (Song)

Lana Del Rey - Ultravoilence
Lana Del Rey is undoubtedly one of the most polarizing figures in modern music. Ever since breaking it big with “Video Games”, she has faced a decidedly lukewarm reception. One must doubt whether it’s her music or just her over-all aesthetic that her detractors have an issue with. Upon …
System of a Down The Self Titled Album
System of a Down is one of my most favorite bands. They’re a hard rock band and they usually dabble in heavy sounding music that more often than not has double or deep meaning behind the lyrics. In this review, I want to talk about their very first album, …

Metallica - Devil’s Dance (Song)

Say my name
Say my name by Destiny’s Child is a song that is sad in the way that it talks about how this girl realizes her boyfriend is cheating on her and he is not willing to say her name anymore. That would rouse any girl suspicion when her boyfriend won’t …
Poncho and Lefty
If you were to ask me about a love ballad that reminds me of an old western movie I’d have to say it would Poncho and Lefty by Willie Nelson. This song is about a couple of friends that robbed a bank and then became outlaws running from the …
El Camino 2011 Album by The Black Keys
The Black Keys are really hot right now. And I feel sorry that I happened to find out about this band only along with everybody else, during the wave, the tsunami of their breaking into the mainstream, and not earlier than that.
El Camino is a great album, and I …
Kenny Rogers singer
While Kenny Rogers has certainly never been one of my favourite singers, the country and western singer seems to be beloved by many of the people in my country. I can even remember that he was invited to sing as one of the international artistes at the Air …

Pink Floyd - A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987)
Well, if the previous album, The Final Cut, was a Roger Waters album, this one is David Gilmour. It’s funny how these two albums are so completely the opposite of eachother. I prefer this one though, if I was to choose between the two. You can pretty much guess …

CHVRCHES - Clearest Blue (Song )
I know that the band’s name is somewhat hard to pronounce (I even heard one time my classmate said, “Cheveches” and I was like, what?”) but really, it’s just pronounced as “Churches”, they’re just probably bad in the spelling department!
But thankfully enough, their music is nowhere near as bad …
MGMT (band)
I’ll start by saying there are relatively few contemporary artists, emerging in the past few years, that I’ve taken much interest in. By and large, I’m much more inclined to listen to older records and artists than newer ones-which may be odd, since I’m only 25 and the majority …
Tiger In Your Tank by MonkeyJunk

“Unapologetic” album by Rihanna
Rihanna’s 7th album to date, she gifts us with the title “Unapologetic”. Although there’s no track in the album under the same title, I believe the theme is based around that title. Following the hype and promotion of this album, I decided to purchase a copy for myself. I …
